After the mess that was rehearsals, the finished product was really very nice! I was entertained.
Acid Betty continues to gun for the bitch edit. So far, she's strong enough to back up her mouth. Amazing look on the runway.
Naomi is stunning but I worry that she's already repeating shoes.
Thorgy is adorable. I love her dreadlocks and I love her gentle shade and I love her confidence.
Chi Chi did a good job corralling her fractious teammates. Her runway was a bit basic.
Dax did much better than I'd expected based on her difficulty at rehearsal. I really liked the green layer of the gown; the yellow part felt very tacked on.
Cynthia is so zany! Uhhh, what did she wear?
Bob, still safe.
Derrick, oooo, a BROWN wig. OOOO.
Robbie's red Vera Wang was GORGEOUS. Marilyn Monroe.
Kim is getting a very kind edit. Clearly the viewers are supposed to relate to her insecurities and feel supportive and generous to her. She looks stunning freeze-frame but her walk is so clunky...it definitely needs work. She did quite well in the performance, turning her liabilities into assets as a dorky character.
Laila...blue lips and aqua hair? Girl no.
Lipsync: OK. Unpopular opinion time. "I Will Survive" is a GREAT song to dance to, but it is actually a midtempo that seems to be tricky to lipsync to. Since it's a good dance song, the impulse is to go really high energy and active, but that doesn't really fit the tempo. Stomping around and flailing and taking off clothes really didn't fit the song.
As for the phone call, I'm sticking with my loony theory. Based on our expectations for reality shows, we---and the cast---are thinking that an extra person is joining the cast. But Ru did not say that on the phone. (And I just went to re-watch so I could quote exactly what she said and Logo has it locked! NOOOO.) Anyway! Paraphrasing..."I just sent two girls home. How soon can you get here?" Could be a plea for someone to come coach/support the girls? Maybe?
